PAYETTE SCHOOL DISTRICT PARTNERS WITH TEACH FOR AMERICA

Bryson Vacey – Special Education Math

In 2017, Payette School District began working with Teach for America (TFA) to fill some open teaching positions, that are considered difficult to fill in education. That year, the district hired three teachers to fill classes at the high school. In the fall of 2018, the district hired three additional TFA teachers. All of these candidates have proven to be exceptional leaders for the students and staff alike.

Teach for America aims to bring quality teachers into classroom of rural or high poverty areas. They provide support to develop candidates into strong connected educators who make an impact on student growth and strengthen schools. Each teacher agrees to stay for a minimum of two years, but Payette School District hopes they’ll stay forever. Each of their candidates is a story within themselves.

The TFA candidates teach subjects like special education, language arts, social studies, and biology. On Saturday, May 18, the first three Payette TFA teachers were inducted into the TFA alumni. As alums, they join a large network that is working to shape the political, economic, and social future of our country, across all sectors.
